๐ŸŽบ While one doesn't expect to find a mariachi band at an H-E-B grocery store, one is somehow also not surprised to find one there either.

๐Ÿ“ท Recommendations wanted: Apple Photos app for Mac replacement?! Itโ€™s almost unusable and syncing back to my phone is a multi-hour exercise in rebooting and waiting for 3.5+ hour syncs. (M1/Sonoma+iOS17.6.1) Anyone have a fav. for organizing/searching/archiving a multi-terabyte family photo library?

Sitting in the waiting room while the tires get rotated on the car. Another customer is chatting up a storm with the staff in a THICK creole accent. I keep wanting to jump in and ask "Who's your dialect coach?" Then I have to suppress laughing and starting a giggle loop. IYKYK.

A movie trope I think flies under the radar since itโ€™s also usually tied to an exposition dump: โ€œObscure, but Vital Information Thatโ€™s in an Easily-found Recordโ€ ๐Ÿฆธ Hero(s) need some key info ๐Ÿ“š Know JUST the expert ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ โ€ฆWho knows EXACTLY the book/map/scroll/record to grab from of the bajillion options located around them ๐Ÿ“œ โ€ฆAnd opens it almost precisely where the information is ๐ŸŽฏ Optional sub-trope: Info also happens to be on a shelf right near them and/or plucked out almost immediately

๐Ÿฅค We drink a LOT of Iced Tea in the house. I make some, but we also buy some to keep up with demand. These have peel-off safety seals on them like many other beverages. ๐Ÿ‹๏ธ Recently they would periodically become VERY hard to pull off. So, the boy decided that โ€œthe guy at the plantโ€ in charge of gluing them must have just had a bad day. This started an escalating imaginary back story told over several openings of new tea bottles โ€“ all because Gold Peak changed their glue. - Didnโ€™t win that batch of lottery scratchers - Got into an argument with his wife - Behind on the mortgage again from gambling - She agreed to take him back (Easily peeled off that time) - She must have served him the divorce papers (He had to stab the seal off with a knife) - Counseling is going well (Easy peel) - Oh no, sheโ€™s taking the house - โ€ฆAnd the kids

Been writing some code and used Svelte. Then wrote about how people REALLY need to think about the developer experience when creating frameworks, tools, libraries, etc. https://quixado.substack.com/p/ur-dx-ok

If you're new to Austin or looking to meet people an try new communities: Come check out an Austin FC match, tailgate, and/or away watch party. Even if you're not a fan of the beautiful game, many supporters weren't either at first and don't necessarily think of themselves as "sports fans." ๐ŸŒณ ๐—”๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—™๐—– ๐— ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐˜†! ๐Ÿ†š Charlotte FC (10โ€“8-6). ๐ŸŸ๏ธ Q2 Stadium. ๐Ÿ•ข 7:30pm CDT. ๐Ÿป Tailgate: 4:00-6pm.

In my latest written bit of rambling, I manage to reference dentistry, vegetables, and pajamas โ€“ and hopefully, you're open and interested in understanding more about that. https://quixado.substack.com/p/you-you-them-them

๐Ÿ’ฉ Dana Bash and Jake Trapper have wasted an opportunity to control this debate and force focused answers. Not recommended. Oh CNN, let's get you back to bed. ๐Ÿ… Every national news network should be tripping over themselves to poach Kyle Clark out of Colorado to moderate a Presidential Debate. Certified fresh. Evidence: https://www.youtube.com/live/kD2rET3e5Ts The media needs to get tough in this election and call BS as it happens.

The lack of a Sesame Street tie-in to this CNN Presidential Debate is a missed opportunity. The Count in the bottom corner by the chyron throwing up digits every time Biden starts counting off his talking points would be ๐ŸคŒ.
